IMG_007.jpg: Yi (appearance/ceremony/gift). This character is seldom used nowadays; the modern simplified version is much easier to write. This may give a clue to the age of the pendant. My best guess is it's pre-1975 tho I may be wrong; am not sure exactly when the simplified version of the word was introduced. The pendant maker may also have eschewed simplified forms of words altogether!

IMG_008.jpg: Liang (good/much).

As this sort of pendant is usually meant to bring good fortune, I'd say the 2 characters in this context would mean "MUCH GIFTS".
